This is a great neighborhood for kids. There are three blow ups that are the biggest ones I have ever seen. **If you want more Christmas lights set to music, see the additional options at the end. Arnott and Dowding can be seen on the way to Sar-Ko-Par Trails. From #1 to # 2: After coming out of the neighborhood, turn left (east) onto 47th street.

Right after the Lackman Dr. intersection you can turn right into a parking lot or you can continue to a little way down to the skate park and enter the park there. Just drive up to the new shelter and park area so you are close to the pond. #2 Sar-Ko-Par Trails- Aglow (Get out and walk around) 87th Street and Lackman All the trees around the pond are decorated with lights.

You will park across the street from Vince and Associates in the Emmanuel Baptist Church parking lot up on the hill. #4 Vince and Associates Holiday Display (Music) 101st and Metcalf, Overland Park, KS Tune radio to 95.5 FM This display is set to music. Watch the height of the bushes to make sure you have a clear view or enjoy the show on the hood of your car. This light show is normally the best in sync with the music and their choice of music is always good! Christmas Lights Tour 2020 From #4 to #5: Go south on Metcalf and turn right (west) onto College Blvd. Turn left onto Antioch. Neighborhood will be on your right. Copyright © OurPurposefulLife.com 2020 - All Rights Reserved #5 Christmas Place (Neighborhood) 131st Place west of Antioch Road, Overland Park, KS 66213 This is by far the best neighborhood one because literally every house decorates. While there are some characters in the yard this one is very classy and just BEAUTIFUL!! Make sure you dim your lights as you go into the neighborhood and turn them back on as you pull out. From #5 to #6 head south on Antioch back to 135th street. Turn right (west) onto 135th street. Turn Left (south) onto Switzer. The Holiday Lights at the Farmstead is located at Deanna Rose Children's Farmstead at 13800 Switzer Road. After you turn onto Switzer the Farmstead will be on your right just after the ball fields. #6 Holiday Lights at the Farmstead (Music) Deanna Rose Children’s Farmstead 13800 Switzer Road, Overland Park, KS Tune Radio to 90.5 FM 5-11 pm 11/26/20-1/7/2021 This one has a huge number of lights! Kind of overwhelming actually but a fun one to watch with easy parking. From #6 to #7 go north on Antioch back to 135th street. Turn left (West) onto 135th street. Go all the way to Mur-Len Rd and turn right (north) onto Mur-Len. Turn right onto Indian Creek Parkway. The display will be on the corner and parking is tricky but this is one you will want to walk through. You can park on the street or in the business parking lot north of the display on Indian Creek Parkway. #7 Penguin Display! (Get out and walk around) 16617 Indian Creek Parkway, Olathe, Kansas 66062 This one has an unbelievable number of blown-up penguins. It is definitely a sight to see and an experience like no other! **If you want more neighborhood lights display, see additional options at the end. Arbor Landing and Christmas Card Lane are worth driving through if you are in the neighborhood. From #7 to #8 Turn right onto Mur-Len Road. Turn left onto W. 127th Street. Then turn left onto E. Kansas City Rd. The community center will be on your left right after you cross Ridgeview Rd. #8 Olathe Community Center (Get out and walk around) 1205 East Kansas City Road, Olathe, KS 66061 Another walking park display with trees and water. Very similar to Sar-Ko-Par park display just a smaller version. From #9 to #1: This will be your longest route without a stop. As you exit the Olathe Community Center parking lot take a left onto E. Kansas City Rd. Turn right onto N. Nelson Rd then Turn left onto E. Harold St. Turn right onto K-7 and go north until you reach W. 47th St. Turn right onto 47th Street. Turn left onto Millbrook Ct and then enjoy driving through the neighborhood. You will exit the neighborhood the same way you entered. Christmas Lights Tour 2020 Total of 33 miles- 1 hour and 16 minutes to drive it straight. It would take around 4 hours to go to all 8 and spend 20 minutes at each stop or neighborhood Copyright © OurPurposefulLife.com 2020 - All Rights Reserved Other Musical Light Display Options Mike Arnott (Music) 12612 W. 70th Terrace, Shawnee, KS 66216 Tune radio to 107.5 FM Turn onto 70th Street from 71st Street so the lights will be on your right. Continue West on 70th Terrace and Dowding display will be down the same road as Arnott display on the right. Dowding (Music) 13100 W. 70th Terrace, Shawnee, KS 66216 Round trip it is about 60 miles. It took us 4 hours to drive and watch the shows. This may be more than most families can take on in one night. Don’t feel like you have to hit every single on. Pick the ones that your family will enjoy the most and make sure you take a lot of snacks!!! Other Neighborhood Lights Display Arbor Landing Holiday Lights (Neighborhood) West Mur-len and 162nd Street, Olathe, KS 66062 Once you turn into the neighborhood take the 2nd right to loop around the neighborhood. There is probably more houses that decorate in this neighborhood than Christmas Place on Antioch but it isn’t quite as impressive since it is not every house. It is still worth going if you want a lot of decorated house in one location. Christmas Card Lane (Neighborhood) West of Ridgeview and North of 151st Street Olathe, KS 66062 To go around the outside of the neighborhood: Take a left onto E. Frontier Lane. Take a right onto E. Sleepy Hollow Dr. Left onto E Butterfield Place---This neighborhood isn’t as impressive as the other neighborhoods. Several of the houses do have a strong Christian theme. If you are in the neighborhood might be worth a quick drive through. Notes Only a handful of times have we done the tour in one night. This is possible when we start at 5:00 pm so we can be done at 9:00pm. Most years we have broken it up into 2-3 fun filled nights. These are our tried-and-true favorites. Feel free to insert or replace ours with your must-see light displays as you tour the city. To make the night extra special bring snacks and fun drinks. We start the night with a to go supper like meat, cheese and crackers. After each stop, we bring out the next round of snacks. We try to mix in fun, special snacks with healthy ones. Water is a must but it is also important to have an extra special drink too. Johnson County Christmas Display This is my go-to resource from year to year to get updates on our previous favorite light displays. They give you a heads up on which ones are back and which ones are no longer available. They also give you a map of different areas– of the city and what displays are worth seeing. This would be a great resource if you just want to see lights that are right around your home.

  • Prioritizing Public Safety Supporting San Diego Families During The
    VOLUME 5, I SSUE 7/DECEMBER 2017 Prioritizing Public Safety For years, the City of San Diego has struggled to retain and recruit police officers. Now, we are taking the aggressive steps necessary to tackle this issue and pay our officers at a level that reflects the quality of the police department San Diegans deserve. As the San Diego Union-Tribune reports, pay for San Diego police officers will now rank above average in all pay categories for the first time in years. Police Chief Shelley Zimmerman said the news of the raises is already boosting the department with applicants and inquiries. Supporting San Diego Families During the Holiday Season In the spirit of giving back this holiday season, I’m partnering with Becky’s Gift to collect unwrapped toys for children ages 1-16 who are going through cancer treatment. Becky’s Gift was started eight years ago by two Scripps Ranch families and the community response has been inspiring. If you’d like to donate unwrapped toys, please contact my office at 619-236-6655 or email [email protected] to coordinate a drop-off before December 18. All items collected will be distributed among three cancer centers in San Diego through Becky’s Gift. Happy holidays! P AGE 2 Flu Season Trash vs. Recycle City of San Diego Resources In an effort to keep residential sewer pipes clear, please remember that fats, oils and grease go in the trash, not down the drain. Cooking grease coasts pipelines much like fatty foods clog human arteries. The grease build-up leads to blockage and potential sewer spills.
